Lil Kim is putting the finishing touches on her latest mixtape, Hardcore 2K14. The project, set to be released on September 11, 2014, is a nod to her acclaimed debut album which dropped nearly 20 years ago. In our full interview, which hits newsstands August 19, Kim talks about her personal life, motherhood and of course music. Here’s a quick look at where she stands on the mixtape and BK rap.

HHW: Was motherhood part of the cause for the delay in the mixtape?

Kim: Yeah that was a major part, but I was in the studio up until I was four months pregnant. I got real sick at a point and then I couldn’t finish.

HHW: Even though the mixtape isn’t here yet, it’s coming soon. But in between time, you’ve been feeding the streets with new releases. Like “Hot N—a” that just dropped. What made you want to hop on that track?

Kim: That was Brooklyn all day. It was only right. Anytime there’s someone new coming out in Brooklyn I will always support them, especially if they hitting it hot with something like “Hot N—a” and GS9, they stay hood. They dirty hood, and that’s how I like them. And that’s where I’m from. Anybody that comes out of there I gotta show love because I know how hard it is to get out.

HHW: Has Lil Kim perfected that Shmoney Dance?

Kim: Oh yeah! All day, I’m hitting it right now while we talking. It’s almost like an old gangster dance. It’s fun. You know they say gangsters ain’t supposed to dance… that’s bull! One thing I like about Brooklyn dudes that dance, every single one that I know can dance without looking gay and that’s a good thing. It’s a nice thing, you know?

Kim: B.I.G. could dance his butt off! He had rhythm, and for a big guy it’s a nice thing to be able to do that.

Kim's Baby Shower Airs This Friday

Before Royal Reign even came into this world she got a lavish party, in her honor, fit for a princess!

Lil’ Kim teamed up with David Tutera, the over-the-top wedding planner and over-the-top TV personality you might remember on “Say Yes To The Dress,” for his own show, “David Tutera’s Celebrations” to plan a regal baby shower.

Even though the rapper has already delivered her pride and joy, you’ll still want to watch what it took to plan her swanky shower that was held at Broad Street Ballroom in New York. With star-studded guests like “Love & Hip Hop’s,” Kimbella, actress LisaRaye, TV personality Claudia Jordan, “Mob Wives” star Drita D’Avanzo and rapper Juelz Santana the affair was less about diaper towers and playing baby games and more about getting down to party!

Get a first look at the party planning drama in the clip above and see how it all came together when the episode airs this Friday, August 15th at 9pm EST, only on WEtv.
